A new poll in North Carolina shows Donald Trump leads Republicans for the 2016 presidential election, and Hillary Clinton is the favorite among Democrats. But an unusually named candidate running as an Independent is making the race more interesting.

A new survey by Public Policy Polling among registered voters in N.C. finds "Deez Nuts" is gaining ground on Trump and Clinton.

According to CBS, Deez Nuts of Wallingford, Iowa, is among more than 500 people who have now filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission as of last month. Others making a bid for the White House include a woman named "Sara H. Paylin" and a cat named Limberbutt McCubbins.

3. I do find it funny that the FEC does not require you to be at least 35 on election day to run.

Deez nuts, is actually a 15 year old. Sure, he has no chance to win, and I like that he has brought some commedy to the election, but it seems odd, they wouldn't at least ask your age when you file, and not allow you to run if you are too young.
